<p>In rather creepy news, it seems some unsavory individuals are turning to video game consoles to lure kids. It was reported that in Hokkaido, Japan, a youngster was offered a 3DS with a man reportedly saying to her &#8220;I&#8217;ll give you a 3DS, so come here.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thankfully, the youngster didn&#8217;t fall for it. Let this be a lesson to all, don&#8217;t take consoles from strangers (or anything else, really)!</p>
